About this experience
Two hours north of Sydney is the beautiful Hunter Valley wine region – experience personal tastings, foodie delights and more in this full-day tour. Explore the scenic countryside and expansive vineyards of the Hunter Valley wine region. If we're lucky, see kangaroos in the wild. Enjoy wine tasting at 3-4 cellar doors (both large and boutique) and indulge in local cheese and chocolate. Lunch is in the pretty surrounds of the Hunter Valley Gardens complex. Our philosophy on visiting The Hunter Valley is to take in 3-4 wineries and really enjoy the experience with your own small group. Trying to cram more than this in just leads to an exhausting day without appreciating how wonderful the region really is.

What you'll see and do
Real Sydney Tours
Our guides are expert at choosing the best cellar doors for you to experience, taking into account the taste and palate of the group. Although the wineries may be visited in varying order, a typical Hunter Valley day (all year round) will include: * A country drive to the beautiful Scarborough Wine Company, Kellman’s Winery or other* similar estate to take in some lovely boutique wines and enjoy expansive views of the Hunter Valley. (*Wineries are subject to change.) * Lunch is within the Hunter Valley Gardens complex, at your own expense. * A wine tasting and cheese platter will be enjoyed at a surprise location. * There is also the option of going to Petersons Champagne House to sample some beautiful Bubbly (because as they say “life’s flat without bubbles”!) * And we won’t leave without stopping at the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company, where you can indulge in some yummy chocolate. * Then it’s a leisurely drive back to Sydney, to drop you back at your hotel in time for dinner.

Superb Wines of Hunter Valley
Radmila was a fantastic guide. She took us to three beautiful wineries. All were a little different but showcased their best wines. Each shared their stories of their vineyards and their approach to wines. Each story was intriguing. Highly recommended.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The REAL Hunter Valley Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does The REAL Hunter Valley Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The REAL Hunter Valley Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is The REAL Hunter Valley Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The REAL Hunter Valley Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The REAL Hunter Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The REAL Hunter Valley Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The REAL Hunter Valley Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
